Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Prepare the Broccoli: Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. (2 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Steam the Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the steamer. Cover and steam until just tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes, depending on the size of the florets.

03

Step
5 mins

Season the Broccoli: Remove the broccoli from the steamer to a serving bowl. Toss immediately with the butter until melted and evenly coated. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. (1 minute)

04

Step
1 mins

Sauté the Tuna: In a skillet, combine the drained tuna, teriyaki sauce, and garlic powder. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the tuna is heated through and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Combine and Serve: Pour the sautéed tuna mixture over the steamed broccoli in the serving bowl. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a dash of red pepper flakes to the tuna mixture.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables like asparagus, green beans, or snap peas for the broccoli. Adjust steaming time accordingly.
If you don't have teriyaki sauce, soy sauce with a touch of brown sugar and ginger can be used as a substitute.
